    Part of the schedule got leaked, so my panel (When You Wish Upon a Tezuka) is apparently going to happen at 11:30 AM on Friday in panel room 5.

    Well, fuck: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48207062/ns/local_news-baltimore_md/t/downtown-water-main-break-could-block-streets-days/
    It's two weeks til the con, it'll be fine.
    I sure hope so, but I've seen how slow Baltimore can be about clearing water.
    I just hope for your sake that the Baltimore bum community doesn't get wet. Think of the smell!

    They are kind of putting you against "The Fast Karate for The Gentlemen", which sucks. You know what sucks more?
    Me not being able to go to neither of them :(

    Dave is running the same lecture he ran at ConnectiCon. It was, by all accounts, pretty solid. We're trying to get him to come to MAGFest now too.

    So, for the meet up. How about Friday lunch, or dinner and grab some booze saturday night and party? Just throwing out ideas.

    Lunch or dinner sounds good to ConstantineJenniferGreg. We are bringing a few games if people are up for that.

    In on another pro-mealtime vote.
    Also, what variety of games?


  • GregGreg
    Bohnanza and Spot It are definites. Everything else will be whatever we feel like packing on Wednesday.

    Well Rym I DO know the guy who is in charge of panels for MAGfest this year if you are interested in talking to him directly.
  • RymRym
    We work closely with the MAGFest staff anyway. We've been members of the "Gaming Intellectuals" group for panels every year we've attended.
  • ColdguyColdguy
    Fair enough. Now there is a chance I could get down there on Saturday is that the ideal FRC hang out day?
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    I think I'm gonna skip Otakon this year. Driving to Queens twice in one month has left me strapped for cash and I'd rather spend the little money I still have going to an autocross with my friends on Sunday.
  • jtvhjtvh
    Shall we set up a GroupMe for Otakon?
  • VigaViga
    Yes!
  • jtvhjtvh
    It has been made to exist. Viga, I added you, Constantine, and Greg.

    Who wants in on the GroupMe? It uses a smartphone app or SMS, whichever you want. Give us your email address and any of us in the group can add you.
  • ColdguyColdguy
    Question, is there going to be a significant meetup outside of the convention center or are ya'll hanging out within the con? $80 for one day for me is a tad high but would like to go and see all of you all again.

    I'm guessing there will be some of each. There has been talk of lunch or dinner and I'll bet we'd leave the con ctr for that, esp if you want to join us and don't have a badge.
  • Li_AkahiLi_Akahi
    Can you all please add liakahi@gmail.com to the GroupMe?

    Done.

    You and I seriously need to talk Disney, btw.
  • muppetmuppet
    ConnectiCon to Disney to Otakon. Damn. :-)

    I am truly leading a charmed life, at least this month.

    Ok this might work, if you have an approximate tmeish I can go down. It appears another group I know is also going to be down there and if I can catch both of y'all in one fell swoop without paying money for the con, that is a win in my book.
  • CremlianCremlian
    I won't be going this year, due to Accidents and vacations I don't have the spare car and Laura would be stranded at home.
  • ColdguyColdguy
    Add me in then to the group, Cold Guy should be the name since the last time I was on it.
  • ConstantineConstantine
    That was fun. Do it again in a year?
  • ColdguyColdguy
    Eh why not, barely cost me a thing :P
  • jtvhjtvh
    Otakon forums tell me that Otakon 2013 is August 9-11, which practically requires me to go there and celebrate my birthday.

    Was anybody there at the end of the feedback panel? I think that's when the announcement was probably made.
  • Li_AkahiLi_Akahi
    They always announce the con dates for next year and the approximate number of attendees at the end of Con Feedback. Otakon is going to be a bit late next year. Not looking forward to the slightly longer wait, but definitely looking forward to whatever awesome things they have going on for the 20th (especially MAT3K).

    Also, panel ops are the shit. They got me the adapter needed to hook up my laptop to the projector for my panel (I brought the one that allows me to hook up my laptop anywhere around campus, not ever thinking that it might not be the standard cable.).
  • AxelAxel
    Hopefully I can go. But I'll probably be working next summer...
